What happens when patients stop their GLP-1 Agonists? Data can help guide weight maintenance strategies following cessation.

The next major advance in hospital patient care might not be a new medical device or pharmaceutical drug, but rather something more simple-- opening the windows of hospital rooms. Fresh air brings in new, harmless microbes which outcompete the pathogens! #CSUBmicrobiome

Gut microbes have been seen to have a larger effect than just influencing gut health-- here, their effect on stroke recovery is explored #CSUBMicrobiome

Are our microbiomes homogenizing? The world's interconnectedness, through travel and other routes, is causing our microbes to be shared with more people than ever before, making our microbiomes more similar than they once were #CSUBmicrobiome

The microbiome of termites might be the solution to ending hunger and food shortages! Preliminary research shows a termite probiotic could make wood and cellulose become available nutritional sources for humans #CSUBmicrobiome

Klebsiella pneumoniae: a bacterium common in intestines. But, this bacterium was also found as a woman's cause of death in 2017 when it became resistant to all US antimicrobial drugs. What will happen if this continues with more of our body's common microbes? #CSUBmicrobiome

Are we reaching the end of the antibiotic era? As antibiotic resistant pathogens are increasing in prevalence, it is becoming essential that we wean ourselves off of antibiotics and looking into alternatives like sense and destroy probiotics or phage therapy #CSUBmicrobiome

Bifidiobacterium, a microbe from breast milk that assists in vitamin production and immune system modulation, can make up 90% of an infant's microbiome-- exemplifying that evolution has done a great job at ensuring infants have a head start on success! #CSUBMicrobiome

Are microbes the future of medicine? Microbes have been observed to change host behavior and affect brain activity-- maybe this could create a personalized #psycobiotic for treatment of depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions! #medicaladvances #CSUBmicrobiome
